THE Reno Gazette of July 2 says: Buffalo
Bill spent last evening at the Depot
hotel, and since his troupe could give no
entertainment in Reno, he was kind
enough to give a private show himself.
His agent complained of Bill's conduct,
and accused him quite wrongfully. He
also, being one of the sharpers, attempted
to swindle the celebrated out of $200.
Words passed, and Bill, playing the agent
was an Indian, went for his scalp. Parties
interfered and prevented an interesting
performance.
